We've killed hundreds of Iraqi civilians in 2 months because Trump decided to loosen the rules of military engagement.

America Resurgent doesn't give a damn about the civilians in Iraq.

They don't even give a damn about the ones killed since Trump came into the White House.

They were silent as Barack aided and armed the government of Nouri
al-Maliki which persecuted and tortured Sunnis. They were silent as
Nouri bombed civilians in Falluja. They were silent as Hayder al-Abadi
continued that tradition.

They don't give a damn about Iraq.

The US government killed thousands of Iraqi civilians every year under
Barack -- despite Barack being elected to end the Iraq War.

America Resurgent is a group of liars who toss out anything to try to spread their lies.

But they don't care about Iraq.

And they're not calling for an end to the war.

Like Blood Whore Hillary, they're just fine with killing people.

And make no mistake, when they talk about Republican voters, they're fine with killing them as well.

America Resurgent is a hate machine designed to protect the corporations, not to help the people.

Not to help the people of Iraq, not to help the people of the United States.

Day 182.

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs notes:

Since the start of military operations to
retake Mosul six months ago, nearly half a million people have been
displaced from their homes.“The sheer volume of civilians still fleeing Mosul city is staggering,” said Lise Grande, the Humanitarian Coordinator for Iraq.“Our worst case scenario when the fighting started was that up to one
million civilians may flee Mosul. Already, more than 493,000 people
have left, leaving almost everything behind,” said Ms. Grande.The UN estimates that as many as 500,000 people remain in
ISIL-controlled districts in western Mosul, including 400,000 in the
densely populated old city. Humanitarian partners are working around-the
clock to expand emergency sites and camps to shelter the hundreds of
thousands more who may flee in coming days and weeks.“Mosul has pushed us to our operational limits,” said Ms. Grande.
“1.9 million people have received life-saving assistance since the
fighting began. Front-line organizations have been providing food,
water, shelter, emergency kits, medical support and psycho-social
services. We’re reaching families who have fled and families who have
stayed.”“We’re doing everything we can but this has been a long battle and
the assault on the old city hasn’t started,” said Ms. Grande. “The
battle in western Mosul is very different than in the east— it’s much
tougher. There are more trauma injuries, homes are being destroyed, food
stocks are dwindling quickly and families are at serious risk because
there isn’t enough drinking water.” “Civilians in Mosul face incredible,
terrifying risks. They are being shot at, there are artillery barrages,
families are running out of supplies, medicines are scarce and water is
cut-off. Nothing is more important than protecting civilians—nothing,”
said Ms. Grande.Under international humanitarian law, all parties to the conflict are
obliged to do everything possible to protect civilians, ensure they
have the assistance they need and limit damage to civilian
infrastructure.For further information, please contact:Damian Rance, Communications Officer, UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in Iraq,

For the past months, Washington has faced the urgent need to distract
the world’s attention from its devastating failure in Mosul in order to
hide the huge number of casualties among the local population. Perhaps,
this became one of the main reasons for carrying out a new full-scale
campaign to topple and discredit Bashar Assad.However, every effort that is making by the U.S. to hide its
failures, in fact, is futile. The ‘counter-terrorist’ operation in the
Iraqi Mosul has been going on for more than 6 months. According to the
Pentagon, the number of losses among the coalition forces has already
reached at least 9,000 military personnel and 1,600 units of military
equipment. Of course, we must admit that the overwhelming majority of
casualties are among the Iraqi military. But we should not forget that
the Iraqi soldiers are led by generals of the international coalition.
Thus, all the losses during the assault of Mosul are the result of U.S.
direct command.

It’s not a secret that the U.S. indiscriminant air strikes lead to a
daily increasing number of civilian casualties. Considering the fact
that all this is happening under the patronage of the United States, the
natural question arises – how effective is Washington in fighting
terrorism, if it can’t minimize the losses among civilians?
